LORD CECIL TO THE AMERICANS.
“While Europeans cast no shadow of doubt on tho sincerity of America’s ideals, or the nobility of her professions. they frankly find it hard to comprehend her reluctance to back her beliefs. . The nations of Europe to-day are striving, haltingly, and uncertainly it may be, to build lip n new world order essentially moral in basis and purpose, resting, as national order rests, on the substitution of pacific for violent settlements of disputes, with the writ of the Court guaranteed by the common will, and in tho last resort by the common action of the community of States. If Americans to-dav care for the great principle of world peace and disarmament as Lincoln eared for the principle of the Union, can they for ever
resist tbe conclusion, forced remorselessly on Lincoln, that an order based on a common contract, must be defended in emergencies by other means that affirmations of belief in it, however eloquent.”—Viscount Cecil.
